HAF Iron Chef Challenge
This is our forth forum wide challenge and the theme was centered around the tv show Iron Chef! Our artists were given a specific set of rules that are listed below, your challenge as a voter is to pick the artists’ work that most closely represents the rules. So you have a tough job, since this job of being a juror is so difficult we have some prizes for you as well so keep reading 😀
Rules of the Challenge:
1.) Entries must be directly food-themed. For example: You can carve a stamp out of a potato and enter that into the contest. However, you can’t enter a card that was merely stamped with the potato stamp (unless the card itself is also food-themed).
2.) Entries can be created from food (e.g., a macaroni necklace), can be a resemblance of food (e.g., a “cake” made from diapers), or can very obviously contain food-related materials (e.g., a journal made from recycled cereal boxes; a sorting game made from cupcake containers).
3.) To enter the contest, you must take a picture of your completed entry and post it, along with a brief explanation of the entry. Everyone who sees the picture should be able to tell what is food-related in your entry (an initial explanation of the entry may be necessary, but we shouldn’t have to have a hard time deciphering what is food-related in your entry).
4.) Any entries that do not follow these rules WILL be disqualified!!
Contestants Prize:
We try to be as generous as we can afford to our participants so that their hard work and effort do not go to waste. The winning artist will receive $25.00 cold hard cash to spend on anything they want. The winning contestant will also a win a free shop for life on the Handmade Artists’ Shop!
Voters and Commentor Prizes:
All who vote and leave a comment saying that you voted, will be automatically entered to win several prizes show below donated from our lovely members as well as a $25.00 cash to spend on anything you want from the Handmade Artists’ Shop! If you vote and do not leave a comment you will not be entered you must do both to be eligible to win the prizes.

I love all the entries, wasn’t easy deciding to vote on the one I thought was best.
Love that poptart with the tiny sequin sprinkles from Blue Highways.
So many clever ideas but I absolutely want to EAT that poptart journal!
I absolutely love “Mouse takes the Cheese” Lampwork piece. It was NOT easy trying to choose a favorite though.
Our members are so creative! Honestly, I just drew a blank on this contest – Kudos to the entrants and trust me, it was an incredibly tough decision to vote for just one!
Voted! Very clever, all of them, and very difficult to choose just 1!
How do we vote? I can’t figure it out!
Had to open in IE to vote. Love all of these entries. Very talented people!

Wonderful depictions! all great work! I voted for my favorite:) Good luck everyone your all winners!
Love all fairies!!
Great contest! Voted:D
Such a difficult choice, but I voted for the mouse in the cheese. This reminds me of a cheese plate my mom had when I was a kid.
YUM! They all look so tasty! Im going through this cupcake phase right now…although I am not a they are not my favorite desert. The brownie looks so real, amazing work done here and I wish the best to all of you! Hard to choose which I like the best…
So many great entries to choose from!! I voted, but it sure was a hard decision.
So many great entries but I am in love with tole painting! She has my vote 🙂

They were all so cute! I had a hard time choosing, but I did 🙂
Nice entries. The one I voted for was one of the less popular ones so far. That’s typical of me though. I’m always the oddball. Good luck to all!
I love all things chocolate and that brownie looks good enough to eat! All the entries are awesome-hard to choose one, but I voted! 🙂
Oh My they were all so Great, But My Fav is the Poptart Journal So Cute!!! wish we could have picked more then just one

Really hard to decide – all great entries, but WelshDragonDesigns brownie & ice cream pendant looks good enough to actually have calories :))
They are all fun! I love the little mouse popping out of the cheese and the sushi rolls are cute but the one I would buy and love to use is the pop tart journal! Cute cute cute!
Tough competition!
The Pop Tart book is my fave. It looks good enough to eat & I would have to be careful not to take a bit while writing in it. 🙂
I like the Fairy House by BohemianGrove. Voted for it, but the others are good too, I just love fairies, lol.
Gotta love the Mouse Takes the Cheese. Who wouldn’t love a cute little mouse like that, Great entries everyone!
Some very creative entries here but my stomach made the decision pretty easy; I chose the brownie as it was so realistic it made my mouth water!
I voted for the Mardi Gras cake because I love the feathers, but that little mouse is super cute!
The cutest was the mouse take the cheese 😀 I love it.
Oh and forgot to say i posted on fb 😀 http://www.facebook.com/pages/Resplendence/211462035077

Love the feather and mask on the Mardi Gras cake!!
A bunch of us at work were trying to vote, but it keeps telling us we’ve already voted, and we haven’t. Different people can’t vote from the same computer or something?
WOW the voting is really close, this is turning out to be a great contest.
Yummy choices 🙂
What fun! Everyone has great imaginations.

The poptart is my favorite.Who would have thought to make a journal good enough to eat! So creative
OH.. they’re adorable.. it was a close thing between the brownie and the little mouse in the cheese.. but the cheese wins for me.. the attention to detail with the little tail coming out of the hole.. really skillful.. Good luck!!! x
Mouse takes the cheese lampwork is my favourite! Good luck to everyone. XXMM
I vote for the Brownie Sundae! It looks so cute and yummy I want to eat it! Lovely work by everyone!
I vote for the brownie, it looks good enough to eat! Probably it is much too crunchy though. 🙁
I love the Pop Tart Journal, very creative!
I chose… 😉 The brownie!!!
The poptart journal is awesome. My first thought would be to use it for a food journal….but that would defeat the purpose of journaling for weight loss because you’d want to eat it! Very real and cool looking.
I voted for the Mardi Gras cake! I decorate cakes too, and this one was awesome!
I vote for the Pop-Tart Journal from Blue Highways! I love her items.
I voted for Pop Tart! Go Pop Tart go!
Being that I love poptarts, especially the ones with sprinkles, I vote for the poptart journal!
